The history of the Baisaric, the ancestors of the Somalis

Many Somalis have misconceptions, and I fear they are hiding from being labeled "Hutep" by Egyptian nationalists. The Nubian peoples share origins resembling the Nilo-Saharan, and Omotic groups. Arab historians used to refer to them as the "sons of Kush," and when you examine the drawings in ancient Egyptian temples, it is clear that the founders of Kushite civilization were people resembling the Nilo-Saharan, and Omotic groups.

Meanwhile, the ancestors of Somalis (the Puntites) were depicted as they depicted themselves. What happened is that the Baisaric lands neighbored those of the Kushites, just as Somalis today live in Kenya alongside the Bantu. Modern Sudan has become a melting pot of Kushite, Baisaric, and Semitic races, with intermixed lineages. Egypt today is a mix and intermarriage of ancient Egyptians, Arabs (the largest percentage), Amazigh, Greeks, Turks. Somalis have preserved their racial traits due to limited intermarriage and isolation.

I have heard many Egyptian Islamist opponents claim that once they come to power, they will fight against the Pharaonic identity and impose an Arab identity. They argue that their physical features are Arab, their language is Arabic, and that the government since the time of Hosni Mubarak enforced the ancient Egyptian identity out of spite for Arabism and Islam—claiming that those who defend this identity are secularists. Currently, they are preparing to overthrow Sisi, whom they accuse of demolishing Arab-Islamic heritage while building churches. Therefore, these Egyptian nationalists will disappear, and Egyptians will declare themselves Arabs, claiming that these antiquities have no connection to them—that they belonged to a people who perished, and that they inherited the land after them, just as is the case in Turkey today (where the Turks came from Central Asia east Turkestan, west of China, migrated to Anatolia, took power from the Byzantines, and intermarried with the local population).

Look at these antiquities, and I recommend using Pinterest - it contains far more images of wall paintings, statues, and sarcophagi than Google, which is full of the nonsense and lies of Egyptian nationalists and Afrosentrists.

Please focus particularly on the clothing/fashions of that era - then we'll understand where our macawis and dirac originated from.

Note : I am not saying or claiming that we should reclaim that land, demand Egyptian history, or claim those ancient relics. I am only saying that we should not adopt the delusions of Egyptian nationalists and pretend to have origins that are not ours (like Kush). We should simply acknowledge that we belong to an ancient ethnicity—one that has mostly vanished, with only the Somalis remaining, while the rest have either dissolved into Sudan, Abyssinia, and the Arabs of Egypt.

We came from Egypt and migrated south to the Horn of Africa, but those lands were uninhabited by anyone, and our ancestors are the Puntites. Then, the Kushites, Bantu, and Semites began to arrive. The Kushites headed to Eritrea, western Ethiopia, South Sudan, Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda. The Bantu went to Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, the Congo, and so on. And the Semites went to Egypt, North Africa, Sudan, Eritrea, and northern and central Ethiopia.

I thought macawis originated from south east Asia and we adopted it from them, am I wrong?

No, this is an authentic Baisaric culture inherited from our ancestors. As for the embroideries and decorations you see in shops today, they are imported from South Asia—some even have 'Made in Indonesia' written on them. In ancient times, we used to produce fabrics, jewelry, and clothing and export them to Egypt during the Ptolemaic era, all the way to the time of Ibn Battuta, who mentioned this in his book. We also exported them to Persia (modern-day Iran), as documented in the Shahnameh.

We wuzz ?
No need to fear, bro. After Islamists come to power in Egypt, no one will say that to you—rest assured. As for me, personally, I will specialize in history and archaeology to document our history so that future generations can learn from it. And I won’t care whether the secular Egyptian nationalists remain in power or not.

waa kaftan walaal but I also suspected Egypt was multi ethnic because sone statues reflect today egyptian looking pharaos, and some others look more cushitic, so this is possible, its also possible the light skin ones genocided the cushites as many middle kingdom pharaos depict themselves lighter and have inscriptions of them killing and subjugating cushites

this is just a theory tho but ancient egypt was definitely multi ethnic
 
What is a 'Baisaric'? I have never seen this term and googling it only gives me this thread. And all of your sources provided talk abt Barbaria and not 'Baisaric'.
It is the name of our earliest ancestor. Just as Arabs and Jews are classified as Semitic peoples in reference to Shem, son of Noah, I coined the term Baisaric in reference to Baisar, son of Ham.

Somali history, if not studied, documented, and researched by Somalis themselves, will not be preserved by other nations. That’s why we often find our history scattered across platforms like X (Twitter) and TikTok — the work of passionate Somali enthusiasts who search through old sources and share what they find.

As a result, there are hardly any comprehensive or specialized books and studies on Somali history.

However, with Allah’s help, I aim to turn this scattered knowledge into serious, well-founded academic research.

Thank's for the clarification, you are doing important work for Somali historiography.

You should write a book one day.

This confusion stems from the inaccurate way Egyptian history has been written—likely in an attempt to appease all the competing groups that seek to claim Egypt’s ancient civilization as their own.

In truth, the Baisaric people were the original inhabitants and the true builders of ancient Egyptian civilization. Later, waves of foreign invaders and occupiers came to Egypt, but over time, the native Egyptians would often drive them out and reclaim power. However, some Egyptologists have grouped all rulers together—native and foreign alike—under the term "dynasties," without distinguishing between legitimate Egyptian rule and foreign occupation.

For example:

• The Kushite dynasty came from Sudan, occupied Egypt for a time, adopted Egyptian culture, and later built a similar civilization in Sudan.

• The Ptolemaic dynasty (which included Cleopatra) came from Greece, ruled Egypt for a period, and was culturally influenced by the Egyptians.

• The Hyksos came from West Asia (Arabia) and controlled Egypt for some time.

This is similar to what the Mongols did in China: they invaded, adopted local customs, and established a ruling dynasty—yet the Chinese never considered them truly part of the native population, but rather as foreign occupiers.

From this perspective, I believe these foreign dynasties should not be classified as part of ancient Egyptian civilization, nor should they be referred to as "Egyptian royal dynasties." They were foreign powers that left a mark, yes—but they were not part of the original cultural and civilizational fabric.

History must be written with neutrality and objectivity, not shaped to satisfy Eurocentrism, Afrocentrism, or Egyptian nationalism.
